So you keep saying.

You've said that twice now, and- No. There's always ways to stop evil. Evil is arrogance, and through defying that arrogance we can win. There will be something here. What of this world's own Matrix?

[ She's comforting herself just as much as him. ]

[areaman]

Unclear.
If there was a version of myself and Optimus Prime in this reality, we know not of them.

[nuclearphoenix]

The Matrix existed before Optimus. It will exist after him. I'm sure it is here, somewhere.

Unfortunately, it is an artefact more suited to dealing with ancient evils, not the fates that befell our kind here. But it is robust. It will have survived.

[areaman]

I am simply assuming he was the last one with it, as the vehicons native to this world seem to recognise him and my variations as the Autobot and Decepticon leaders.

Finding it may be the next step, then.

[nuclearphoenix]

Cybertron, perhaps? Or would it be elsewhere? We need to go over their histories. Map the war and the death it ended in.

Solus will light our way.

[areaman]

What if she doesn't?

[nuclearphoenix]

You are a faithless dumbass, as usual.

The thing you have to understand, Megatron, is that even our own inventions can be her light. Because our gods' light is in us too, not just in them. She will guide us forward; it doesn't mean that we wait for a sign.

[areaman]

I wasn't speaking literally, Sunstorm. Watch your tone.

It matters not.
Thank you for indulging me.

[nuclearphoenix]

Nope.

And it was no problem. If you wish to speak again, you know how to reach me.

[ She's got a history to dig through. ]
